Being Smart with $$ - Is Stock Picking Easy?


Stock picking is easy, right? You just buy the good companies and don't buy the bad ones. Apparently strategist Tom Lee disagrees. He pointed out on CNBC that the stocks hated the most by Wall Street analysts are fairly consistently OUTperformers. So if I have this right, then the bad companies are actually the good companies? So what does that make the good companies? Before you go buying every bad company and selling every good one, something fairly consistent in the stock market is that just when you think you have a trend figured out, that pattern disappears. But you know what strategy HAS consistently worked? Buying a portfolio of all kinds of stocks and sticking with it for the long term.
